Sony| Company ethos | Make.Believe

Director Noam Murro throws everything into this epic 90-second cinema spot that takes us through the four worlds of Sony: electronics, music, film and games.

.

The initiative includes a 90 second heavy FX film running in cinemas nation-wide in the USA. The epic-style, humanistic film shows a boy taking a journey through four Sony worlds (electronics, music, film and games) by pushing buttons. The boy falls into a Sony electronics lab, lands in the movie 2012, must dodge racing cars in Sony Playstation’s MotorStorm Pacific Rift game, then ends up on stage with Sony’s new up-and-coming band Hey Monday. The boy represents childlike wonder and the belief in yourself that you can make imagination real. The film was directed by award-winning Director Noam Murro, whose body of work represents the epic nature that was achieved in the film. Animal Logic handled visual effects creation.

Personally i loved the hilarious playing on a typical stereotype and how to mess with “ Americans blonds” who would believe anything told...American gullibility.

Cadbury’s Australia| It’s no Picnic | Consumer generated advertising[ engagement]

Picnic Consumers go on a Picnic   create hundreds of commercials



Cadbury’s Australia launched a campaign recently for it’s Picnic Bar.  Picnic chocolate bar is made of nuts, wafer, chocolate, rice crisps and caramel – quite a mouthful.  George Patterson Y&R, challenged its audience to eat a Picnic in the space of a :30 commercial break. People filmed themselves using mobile phones, webcams and handycams and then created their own TV ads using the website, It’s no Picnic.
The number of responses is usually linked to ease of participation, the equity of the brand and the fun aspect of the ‘act’ involved. This contest was made fun and easy by letting contestants choose one of 50 pre-recorded voice overs. Personalization was made possible by inserting your own name (they had a database of 1400 – in India one would have to a tad more than that!). Hence, the final product looks like a finished, professional TV commercial rather than an amateur home video. And importantly, the approved commercials were dispatched as and when they were created, with every ad airing once – creating a campaign of hundreds of individual spots.
Post image for Consumers go on a Picnic – create hundreds of commercialsConsumer creation of ads is not new. Doritos, Tide 2 Go and several others (Indica Xeta in India) have all done it. But the ease of creating and airing this campaign makes it appealing. Not to mention the excitement of consumers seeing themselves on national TV. A straight jacketed :30 spot will soon go out of fashion.
